Sanremo chiude la porta all’AI: «Canzoni espressione della creatività umana»

The 2027 edition of the Sanremo Festival has closed the door to artificial intelligence (AI) in song creation, as stipulated by the new regulations introduced for this year. The rules forbid the use of AI systems or tools in the ideation, composition, and realization of songs, unless it is for the purpose of maintaining the "human creative contribution," which is essential to the essence of the participating songs.
The regulation also includes a monitoring mechanism, allowing Rai and the artistic director to utilize any available technological means to verify and evaluate the potential use of AI in song creation. This decision, which was proposed by Fimi (the Italian Federation of the Music Industry) in August, has been welcomed positively by Enzo Mazza, the CEO of the Federazione.
He emphasizes the importance of transparency and the clear distinction between using AI and replacing human creativity, particularly in a contest where songs and lyrics take center stage. The Sanremo Festival has become a testbed for this issue, with the new rules drawing a line between responsible innovation and the replacement of human creativity.
